The Deadly Assassin Robin Novel

Chapter 173 Killing a Chicken Chapter 173 Killing a Chicken Amber stood frozen in shock at the chaotic scene playing out in the yard .

Shirleys attempt to catch a chicken was nothing short of alarming ! Robin , equally surprised , watched as Shirley transformed the entire villas courtyard into a battleground in her frantic pursuit of the bird .

He gazed at Shirley , who stood with a kitchen knife in hand and clearly out of breath ; it was obvious she had invested far too much time on this endeavor .

Didnt she claim to have been honing her skills for an entire month ? And yet , this is the outcome ? With the way things are going , it seems unlikely that she would manage to prepare a meal anytime soon .

Just then , Robin dashed forward , catching the flapping rooster just as it attempted to make a break for it .

Amber sighed in relief , exclaiming , We finally got it ! Ms.

Dunn , you really need to take a moment to rest .

Robin casually handed the rooster to Amber , who was still watching Shirley , whose exhaustion was evident .

Suddenly , Shirley yelled and swung her knife with frustration .

Ah ! Amber gasped , realizing too late that she should have dodged .

In that instant , the rooster squawked frantically as its head was lopped off , sending it soaring into the air .

Amber stood there , stunned , grappling with what had just occurred .

Shirley shot her an angry look .

I told you to stop running ! After a beat , Amber finally understood that Shirleys fierce glare was aimed at something in her own hands .

She glanced down and saw that she was gripping a headless chicken , its body twitching and spilling warm blood ! Ah! she shrieked , dropping the lifeless bird onto the ground .

1/6 18:25 Sat , 23 Nov D D Chapter 173 Killing a Chicken Just as she regained her composure , the severed head of the chicken plopped neatly into her grasp .

Without even looking at what she was holding .

Amber tightened her grip and shot a glare at Robin .

You handed me the chicken and didnt give me a heads up ? Robin pointed at her hand .

If you squeeze any harder , youll crush it .

Amber looked down and finally realized she was holding a blood soaked chicken head .

Ahhh !! she yelped , flinging the head away with all her might before bolting around the yard in panic .

Exhausted from the ordeal , Shirley sank onto the courtyard steps , gasping for air .

She glanced at the headless chicken sprawled on the ground and then at Amber , who was frantically running in circles , and chuckled .

Amber , you might want to work on your bravery .

Amber finally halted , her cheeks flushed .

Well … that caught me completely off guard … I had no idea killing a chicken would be this tough , Shirley admitted , nodding .

If I had known , I would have just bought one that was already cleaned and ready to go .

After a brief pause , she gathered herself .

You two wait in the living room .

Ill head to the kitchen , pluck the feathers , and then prepare the fish .

We can finally start cooking .

Amber had calmed down by this point .

Hearing Shirleys words , she hesitantly asked , Ms.

Dunn , the fish is still alive ? Shirley tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear .

Yes .

You two can sit in the living room for a bit and make yourselves some tea while I get to work .

It wont take long .

Ill take care of the fish first and get it cooking right away .

O okay , Ms.

Dunn .

Amber nodded and moved into the villas living room with Robin .

Inside , the living room was just as chaotic as the yard .

From the mess scattered across the floor , it was evident that Shirley had chased the chicken from the kitchen through the living room and out into the yard .

Amber quickly freshened up in the bathroom and began tidying up the disarray in the living room .

Just as she was about to settle onto the sofa for a moment of respite , a sudden scream echoed 2/6 18:25 Nov Chapter 173 Killing a Chicken from the kitchen , nearly causing her heart to leap out of her chest .

This cooking chaos is truly something to behold .

Mr.

Ramsey , you relax here for a moment .

Ill check on Ms.

Dunn and see if she needs a hand.

Robin nodded , suspecting that by the end of the night , these two women might have completely wrecked the kitchen .

Amber stepped into the kitchen , where she found Shirley facing off against a fish lying on the floor with her knife at the ready .

two foot long carp lay sprawled across the kitchen floor , its eyes glaring defiantly at Shirley .

Shirley gripped the knife tightly , her hands shaking as she stared at the fish , paralyzed by fear .

Ms.

Dunn , whats happening Shirley jumped at the sound of Ambers voice , who stood in the doorway , gesturing for her to approach .

Ms.

Dunn , what are you doing ? Amber asked , surveying the chaos in the kitchen .

Shirley quickly shut the kitchen door and whispered , Amber , you came just in time .

Can you help me out ? This fish just bit me ! Uh , what ? Amber hesitated , eyeing the large fish on the floor .

Maybe I should call Mr.

Ramsey to handle it instead .

Im not sure I can = Shirley grabbed Ambers arm urgently .

Please dont tell Robin I cant deal with this ! You have to help me ! Amber sighed , her resolve wavering .

Ms.

However , it was as slippery as an eel .

As soon as she grasped it , the fish wriggled out of her grasp , its mouth wide open and glaring at her defiantly .

Amber yelped , panic surging through her as she fell to the floor , tears nearly spilling from her eyes .

Ms.

Dunn , lets just forget about the fish ! Its too scary ! Shirley shook her head firmly .

How can we skip it ? We promised to make fish and chicken .

for dinner ! Its fine .

Just catch it and kill it .

Ill take care of everything else .

Determined , Shirley raised her fist in encouragement .

Amber , can do this ! Go for it ! Alright ! Amber inhaled deeply , steeling herself .

To succeed , one must embrace the chaos ! you Ah ! she shouted , surprisingly causing the fish to pause , as if she had magically quelled its frantic movements .

With newfound determination , Amber grabbed the fish and hurled it into the sink .

Ha ! You think you can escape me ? Not a chance ! With that , she seized the knife from the cutting board and brought it down decisively onto the fishs head .

All done , Ms.

Dunn ! The fish is ready .

Shirleys eyes sparkled with excitement .

I knew you could do it ! Fantastic ! Lets move on to the next step ! I saw a tutorial She glanced at the fish , now split in two , its head still gasping for breath , then opened her phone to the fish preparation video .

We need to scoop out the gills from the head .

Amber stared at the still breathing fish head .

Ms.

Dunn , since its still gasping , should we skip that step ? 476 Shirley frowned at the video .

We cant skip it ; we need to remove the gills , or the fish soup 18:25 Sat , 23 Nov Chapter 173 Killing a Chicken wont taste fresh .

Ms.

Dunn , I did it ! I got the gills out ! Shirley , focused on plucking chicken feathers , didnt look up .

Great , now clean out the inside of the fish .

Wiping sweat from her brow with her sleeve , Shirley glanced at the pile of feathers and frowned .

I didnt expect chicken feathers to be this tough .

Ive been at it forever and barely removed any .

Amber examined the thick layer of feathers and suggested , Ms.

Dunn , cant we just use scissors to cut them off ? Absolutely ! Shirleys face brightened .

Amber , youre brilliant ! Just like a haircut , snipping the feathers will work perfectly ! She quickly washed her hands and dashed out of the kitchen .

Robin was lounging on the couch , engrossed in a funny video on his phone .

When he saw Shirley burst out of the kitchen with scissors in hand , he followed her back inside .

Do you really need scissors to cook ? Robin asked , peering into the kitchen .

Shirley quickly closed the sliding door behind her .

Ms.

Dunn , the fish is ready .

Shirley inspected the fish on the plate , nodding approvingly .

Amber , you did a pretty good job ! Sure , it looks a bit rougher than in the video , but it has character .

Amber laughed .

Thanks for the compliment ! Honestly , every time I push myself , it feels so rewarding ! The two women shared a laugh in the kitchen .

Amber studied the fish shed prepared and then looked back at the video for reassurance .

It may not look perfect , but as long as it tastes good , thats what counts .

Shirley nodded confidently , Dont worry .

I promise itll taste amazing ! Amber paused for a moment .

Ms.

Dunn , the last fish I made didnt have any salt … My mom always says its best to add lots of salt when cooking fish to enhance the flavor .

586 18:25 Sat , 23 Nov F Chapter 173 Killing a Chicken Shirley nodded seriously .

Alright , well add more salt this time .

I bought a whole box of salt today .

Half a bag should do the trick , right ? Amber glanced at the fish simmering in the pot .

Recalling the last time Shirley had her taste test the fish , it was completely bland .

This t time , she decided to be generous .

With that thought , she dumped a generous portion of oil and salt into the pot .

o not now .

pot All set , Ms.

Dunn ! The fish and seasonings are in the pot Shirley wiped the sweat off her forehead .

Fantastic ! Now come help me with the chicken feathers .

Amber watched enviously as Shirley expertly trimmed the feathers from the whole chicken .

Ms.

Dunn , everything you do is so meticulous ! The chicken looks really neat after youve plucked it .

Shiny studied the now bare chicken and hesitated for a moment .

Amber , Im not sure chicken looks right .

It doesnt seem as clean as what they showed in the video .

Amber thought for a moment .

They probably used an electric razor .

Shirley frowned .

I dont have an electric razor .

What should we do ? this Amber pondered again , her face lighting up with excitement .

Ms.

Dunn , you could use your eyebrow razor ! It should work just as well ! Shirley perked up .

Amber , youre a genius ! Keep cutting while I grab the eyebrow razor !
